Making baby’s feet tutorial

After Making baby’s head and face tutorial, and hands, here is the way of Making baby’s feet tutorial to explain the methods that I usually use in sculpting baby's feet. The pictures are adjusted for close up and only focus on her feet. Follow the pictures, compare each picture from top to bottom, right to left, you may easily understand how the feet were formed.

Please compare with the pictures by numbers.

1.

*Prepare good reference of baby's feet that you are going to use on the figurine. Gather as many images in different angles as possible. Or it would be even better, if you have a baby model! But be aware she definitely be interested in your tools and clay model...

2.

*The pictures shown started from paperclips armature, adding clay, baked first, the armature which is make for the whole figurine, apply clay and make basic form and structure.

*You don't need to rank the toes like making hands this time, but still need to divide toes in right size and right proportion of each. Baby's feet are normally smaller than what you thought, you've got to measure the right size in proportion to her body. The toes are just like 5 grapes on her foot, such a beautiful chubby look. Carefully make the detail of every puffy areas.

*I made the feet and legs together, they are going to bake first. Next would be lower body with short pants up to her waist. This way I can have place to hold the figurine closely in sculpting.

3.

Keep making the detail in every angles and adding the wrinkles in the joint areas of feet and legs, toes and foot etc. There are many different depth of wrinkles and lines, carefully make them naturally uneven.

*Brush it with nail polish remover and nylon brush to smooth out the surface, make details again after brushed.

*In this process, you are actually using mostly you fingers to smooth the surface instead of tools.

*Check every angles and bake.
